Alfie’s mum, Michelle made some delicious shortbread biscuits with Class 1. She started by talking about the ingredients with the children then got them to weigh the flour, sugar, cornflour and butter into a large bowl.
We mixed together flour and butter and sugar to make the biscuits. – Alfie
After briefly mixing the ingredients together, Michelle encouraged the children to take some of the mixture from the bowl, squeeze it together, pat it down and use one of the shape cutters to make a biscuit.
The children shaped, squashed and squeezed the dough mixture into all sorts of creative shapes.
After baking the biscuits in the oven, then letting them cool, the children loved sampling the fruits of their labour.
They are really yummy! – Will
